SBF invested 200 million back into Sequoia funds as an LP, wasn't that big of a loss as they invested 214 million into FTX

Bloomberg's reputation about take a big hit

Given Netflix's investment in content, they will be not removing it anytime soon as it fills their library but removing the third party content once licensing fees are up, eventually it will be mostly just netflix original content on the platform and the more the better

is this a joke? Investors were begging to get in Github it's whole history, no surprise it sold for 7.5 billion

"Returning to the files, I soon found the puzzle piece. It was in a document Otto had submitted in support of its application to operate the state’s first Autonomous Technology Certification Facility (ATCF). This is an independent organization that will assess all autonomous vehicles that want to operate (rather than just test) in Nevada, checking that they comply with the state’s safety requirements and traffic laws. The application was a success, and construction of the facility is now underway in a suburb of Las Vegas. (Yes, you read that right — Uber will soon be assessing other companies’ compliance with safety rules.)"

LinkedIn/Twitter/Facebook, you can find a ballpark number of employees at a company that size pretty easily

also there is limited liquidity and limited secondary activity so it is either sell at $49 billion or wait for an IPO, Softbank has all the leverage, why on earth wouldn't they try to lowball investors who were going to sell and had no other options

I mean 100k is a lot of money and there is no saying they didn't hit those guys also
